Burning Daylight.

A Klondike prospector known as Burning Daylight turns a string of mining claims into steady wealth. He leaves the northern camps and arrives in the towns and cities of the American West. There he puts his capital into larger ventures and learns the rules of offices, contracts, and markets. The book follows the daily work of moving money and men, the distances between trail and desk, and the habits Daylight keeps from one life when he enters another.
